I have accepted a one year job in Potomac. There must be a place to live around Potomac in which traffic is not horrible. It is enough outside the Beltway and I would imagine it is more of a bedroom community for DC/VA. Any thoughts. We like sort of the Main St. USA feel with good restaurants and a few pubs but are open to bucolic just would like to stay away from the sanitized suburbia. Would prefer not awful Cost for a 2BR house.

Any Help

Depends on what you consider "awful". But Potomac is one of the most affluent communities in the US - so you're not going to find "cheap" housing within the proper boundaries of Potomac. Nor the areas immediately surrounding it actually.

My opinion is that Gaithersburg/Germantown/Boyds would be your best bet in 'more' affordable housing (but then your "sanitized" suburbia starts coming into play) - and those areas will give you local options for your commute that may allow for less traffic congestion.


----and I just noticed the "JOKE" in the title.....
